5.0

I was sold this book as Alice in Wonderland meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I was much more interested in the latter than the former and this book definitely delivered. The balance between the superhero life and home/teen life was spot on and made sure the book was both tense and fun at the same time. Further to this, the inclusion of Brionne’s story was well interwoven and it grounded the magical elements of the story. 

Now I might actually have to read the original Alice in Wonderland...but only after I finish this series in case of character spoilers! 

A must read!
